The biopsy caused the “Fashion Police” star's vocal cords to seize, known as laryngospasm. The medical source told the paper that had this procedure been done in a hospital, Rivers may have survived. The source further alleges that Rivers had only signed off on an endoscopy.
Representatives for Joan Rivers, as well as her daughter Melissa, did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.
Last week, the New York Medical Examiner's Office told TheWrap that the completed autopsy of Rivers’ body did not yield a firm cause or manner of death, and that further studies would be conducted to determine how she died.
Reports were that she stopped breathing while undergoing the throat surgery on Aug. 28. Rivers was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, but the comedienne did not recover. She was put in a medically-induced coma and put on life support, but she passed away on Sept. 4.

Her death could have been averted. The sad news is that she is gone. Thanks jady for asking after me, I was too busy at the office yesterday. Yeah sometimes I just right my name without my last name. same NKechi Oluka
The hospital should be sued
@Nkechi, i thought as much. @Eddy,why suing the hospital?, she should know that for her age there are certain things your body cannot accept. I wish she didn't die but will suing them bring her back to life?~Jady
